Is there a web-browser for Raspbian that works with the GUI at https://github.com/? One should be able to create a repository with a license and create and edit files using the web GUI. I've tested most well known browsers already and they don't work for these tasks.

  • Iceweasel won't work for that? Really? – goldilocks Mar 21 '15 at 12:12
  • I didn't test Iceweasel at first because Iceape doesn't work and they should be based on the same browser-code. Iceweasel works with GitHub but takes more RAM and I experienced once that it keeps running at full speed in the background after you shut it down. A more stable and less RAM-hungry alternative to Iceweasel, that works with GitHub, would be good. – mobluse Mar 22 '15 at 08:32
  • Iceweasel should be pretty much [firefox with a different sticker](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation_software_rebranded_by_the_Debian_project), version for version. Iceape is a more obscure cousin. I think the version of Iceweasel [in Jessie](http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/26041/how-can-i-access-raspbian-jessie-packages-from-wheezy) is slightly newer, I don't know if that will help with the unstable thing. It probably won't with the memory thing.... – goldilocks Mar 22 '15 at 11:52
  • ...512 MB is pretty tight for a GUI system + modern browser, all of which are hefty. Most phones have a lot more than that now. – goldilocks Mar 22 '15 at 11:53

What about Chromium?

To install type the following in the console:

sudo apt-get install chromium

You could also try Iceweasel. (Haven't tested it yet but should probably work)

  • No, the current version of Chromium for Raspbian Wheezy doesn't work for GitHub on Raspberry Pi 1 B+, but Iceweasel does. I didn't test Iceweasel at first because Iceape doesn't work and they should be based on the same browser-code. Iceweasel works with GitHub but takes more RAM and I experienced once that it keeps running at full speed in the background after you shut it down.
